Application-Focused Protection for Power, Control, Communication and Sensor Cables Across Solar, Wind, Hydropower and Other Renewable Energy Systems
Renewable energy equipment operates in demanding environments where cables may be exposed to UV radiation, wind, rain, temperature changes, abrasion, vibration and continuous outdoor operation. Reliable cable protection helps reduce mechanical damage, organize wiring systems and support long-term equipment performance.
MJ FLEX provides standard and customized cable protection solutions for solar power systems, wind turbines, hydropower equipment, power conversion systems and outdoor control installations.
Renewable energy systems contain power, signal, communication and sensor cables installed both inside equipment and in exposed outdoor locations. These cables must remain protected throughout long operating cycles while allowing inspection, maintenance and equipment upgrades.
Suitable cable protection can help:
• Reduce abrasion and mechanical damage
• Protect cables from UV and weather exposure
• Control and organize cable bundles
• Limit damage caused by vibration and movement
• Protect wiring near heat-generating equipment
• Simplify installation and maintenance
• Support flame and environmental requirements
• Extend the service life of cable assemblies
The correct product should be selected according to cable dimensions, installation location, temperature, movement, UV exposure, abrasion level and required standards.
Different renewable energy systems and installation locations create different cable protection requirements. The following guide connects common application areas with typical protection needs and suitable MJ FLEX product families.

MJ FLEX BRS-PET-FR is an expandable PET braided sleeve for cable assemblies that specify VW-1 flame performance. It combines a flame-retardant PET construction with connector pass-through, abrasion protection and flexible routing for electrical equipment, cabinets and general industrial harnesses. The applicable report should be reviewed against the exact ordered construction.
MJ FLEX BRS-PET-FR-V0 is an expandable PET braided sleeve developed for wire harnesses that require UL 94 V-0 material flammability performance for the referenced construction. It combines connector pass-through, flexible abrasion protection and organized cable routing with a clearly defined flame-retardant selection basis for electrical and electronic equipment.
MJ FLEX BRS-PET-CLR is a colored expandable PET braid that combines cable protection with visual identification. It helps separate circuits, match equipment colors and improve harness recognition while retaining the flexibility, connector pass-through and abrasion protection of general PET braided sleeving. Color feasibility and minimum order depend on yarn and production requirements.
MJ FLEX BRS-PET-RR is an expandable PET braid developed to discourage rodent chewing and add mechanical protection around cable bundles. It is intended for wiring in equipment rooms, infrastructure, agriculture and other locations where ordinary cable jackets may be vulnerable. Performance reduces risk but should not be described as completely rodent-proof under every condition.
MJ FLEX BRS-PET-CC is a fray-resistant expandable PET sleeve designed for cleaner cutting and faster cable-harness assembly. Its modified construction helps limit loose filaments at cut ends compared with standard PET braid, reducing secondary trimming and improving the appearance of pre-cut pieces. The best cutting method should be confirmed for the required finish.

The split construction installs around completed harnesses and maintains service access, while the textile surface protects wiring from routine abrasion inside electrical and electronic equipment.
MJ FLEX STW-PET-UV is a self-closing woven cable wrap developed for outdoor and sunlight-exposed harnesses. Its split construction installs around existing cables and maintains access for maintenance, while the UV-stabilized material provides a more suitable choice than standard indoor textile sleeving for solar, telecom and exterior equipment.
MJ FLEX MBS-TC is an expandable sleeve braided from tinned copper wires for cable shielding and grounding applications. The conductive metal braid fits over cables, wire bundles and selected connectors to create a flexible shielding layer. Tin plating helps protect the copper surface against oxidation and improves solderability, making this construction suitable for industrial, electronic and vehicle electrical systems that require reliable shield termination.
MJ FLEX MBS-CFW is a lightweight expandable shielding sleeve braided with conductive copper foil filaments. It forms a flexible conductive layer around cables and wire bundles while adding less bulk than many conventional solid-wire metal braids. The construction is designed for signal wiring, electronics and space-conscious harnesses that need EMI shielding together with easy routing and a softer, more textile-like handling profile.
MJ FLEX MBS-CFW-S is a self-closing split shielding sleeve braided with conductive copper foil filaments. Its side-entry construction wraps around installed cables without removing connectors, while the lightweight braid follows bends and changing bundle profiles. It is designed for serviceable signal harnesses that need conductive coverage with less weight and stiffness than a conventional solid-wire metal braid.
MJ FLEX MBS-TC-S is an openable shielding sleeve using a tinned copper braided construction with self-closing overlap. It provides side-entry installation around completed cable assemblies and a conductive metal layer for EMI control and shield bonding. Tin plating helps protect the copper surface against oxidation and supports solderable or mechanically clamped terminations.
